Alfred Hitchcock’s Hit Spy Thriller With 97% RT Score Is Now on Free Streaming

There’s a bunch of brand new movies and shows out there on digital platforms, but sometimes you’re just so tired of them and only wish for a good old classic flick to pop up in your streaming’s recommendations.

This is probably what Tubi has been reading in its users’ minds as the platform, which is free for everyone, has recently dropped a movie many might have been waiting for.

Released in 1959, the film in question was an overwhelming success and eventually made it to the list of the best movies directed by legendary Alfred Hitchcock, remaining a cult classic more than 60 years after its release.

You Can Now Watch North by Northwest for Free on Tubi

As it turns out, Tubi gave a major update to its library of movies and shows right ahead of last weekend’s Super Bowl, when the streaming service saw thousands of new users tempted by Tubi’s live broadcast of the big sports event.

As one of the gifts for new audiences, the platform has now released Hitchcock’s 1959 spy thriller movie North by Northwest which you can watch completely free of charge by just tolerating a couple of ads throughout the film’s run.

Starring Hollywood’s darling of the time Cary Grant, the classic suspense movie follows New York City ad executive Roger O. Thornhill ruthlessly tracked down by spy Phillip Vandamm who has mistaken the former for a governmental agent.

Driven out of the city in an attempt to save his life, Thornhill embarks on a cross-country journey and will have to race against time as Vandamm’s henchmen start circling him in a trap.

North by Northwest Is a Certified Fresh Hit That Keeps Stunning Modern Audiences

Also ranked among the greatest films of all time, North by Northwest stood the test of time and to this day keeps getting all the attention from fans of the genre who want something refreshing after a bunch of thrillers that star Tom Cruise as a modern master of such flicks.

Masterfully implementing his feature suspense into an action-packed storyline, Hitchcock creates a visually pleasing film that still serves as a prominent source of inspiration for filmmakers and blows its viewers’ minds with an intricate plot.

North by Northwest is currently holding a nearly perfect RT score of 97% from critics and 94% from the audiences.
